Henry Bloom Noble Library

On January 4 2016 the library relocated from Victoria Street to Duke Street where most of the collections are on the ground with the study area, reference collection and local studies on the lower floor. Facilities include drinks machines, a children’s area, toilets and public computers with internet access, free wi-fi and charging points for customers using their own devices.

To mark the opening of the new library membership is free to all residents island-wide for 12 months, after which membership for those living outside the borough will attract a fee: £20 reduced from £25 for adults, £10 down from £12.50 for senior citizens and £1 down from £2 for under 16s. There remains no charge for students who attend a Douglas school but live outside the borough.

Membership is free to Douglas, Braddan, Santon and Lonan residents.

Membership registration can be done in person at the library or online.
